What is slightly amusing is all the products that would deactivate viruses that where only marketed as antibacterial. I have already seen a few that now say kills virus added to the packaging, with no actual reformulation of the product. Noting of course that you can't actually kill a virus as it's not alive. Which is why all the scientific literature talks about deactivation.
This goes back to "claims" and "labeling". Quite simply, you have to have the product registered with the EPA as a virucide or biocide, which costs a lot of money and takes a long time. After you do that and the EPA approves it, you can say your product kills (sounds better than "deactivate") this virus. You can have the exact same formulation in a different product and if you don't register it, you can't say it kills viruses. Go to the grocery store's cleaning product aisle and find Pine-Sol. Note what it's label says and also find the EPA registration #. Now, find the store brand product, same bottle style, same color liquid, and notice it's label probably doesn't mention killing viruses, nor will it have an EPA registration #. They simply don't want to pay for it. Now, if it is the same formulation, it will kill viruses just like Pine-Sol too !
CmdrTaco explained it on Twitter a while back. A user can get a flag set which means that never get mod points and their meta mods are ignored. No time limit, no way to remove it.
Didn't elaborate on the details but it's basically when the system thinks you are not a good moderator.
So the older your account the higher the probability it can't moderate.
I remember something many, many years ago where it gave users/members the option to not moderate comments and I selected that. At the time, I I was only interested in reading so I didn't care. I think this may be what you're referring to 'cause - and I haven't looked that hard - I don't know how to re-enable the ability to moderate comments if I wanted to.
"Find our kid's knock-off Airpods" feature would be great !
Our kids started two weeks ago as did many (in parts of the US).
There could be health code issues/violations in this case that the delivery service is now responsible for. In most areas, you need a license to sell food.
I'm just shocked that there's that much undeveloped land in NJ, considering how small the state is. Looking at a map though, it's amazing how much undeveloped areas (and forested areas) there are there.
I tried Waze for directions a few times and too many times, it routed me in ways that didn't seem right at the time. Later, I'd plug the same route into Google and it would go a different way but a more sensible way.
I do use Waze if I'm traveling somewhere but I know how to get there. I just use it for traffic, hazards, police, etc.
Why do stories about this give any legitimacy to the number of people who've clicked "I'm going" on a FB event ? At most, a few hundred people may show up....
It might be 'illegal' where you live but it's not the case in all of "America". I know of school districts that absolutely use the local area's public transportation (in the cases I know of, it's buses) and pay for it. They worked with the bus system for discounted costs, of course. At our school district, kids get to school (at least) three different ways: Walkers, parent drop-off, and bussed. It's certainly not "illegal" for parents to drive their kids close to the school, drop them, and they walk the remainder of the way either.
We use Google Apps at my work and I have "Super Admin" privileges. With that, I don't know how to access other's emails nor have I looked to see if it's even possible. As for my phone, in my case my work does provide it but I just use the GMail app and no add'l apps at all.
Not me, but my wife's work asked her to set up email access on her personal phone and she initially told them she would do it (but didn't proceed yet). Mentioned it to me and what apps they also needed to install and I told her not to do it. Told her they could wipe her phone remotely if they had any inkling that there was a problem, etc, etc. She went back and told them "no thanks"
Amazon tells you who the seller is. I tend to stick to items that are "sold by Amazon". Then there are "sold by company 'x', fulfilled by Amazon". That's what this story is about - 3rd-party sellers who have Amazon store and ship their products. Then there are items that are sold and shipped entirely by the 3rd-party. These people simply use Amazon as their store-front, online shop.
A few years ago, while looking for a car part as well as auto insurance quotes, some sites let you input your vehicle's license plate number. If you do that, it comes back with the vehicle it matches from somewhere and of course wants you to confirm that it's accurate (and it always was). In the case of auto parts, yeah, you had to maybe then select a trim level, etc to fine-tune the results.
Anyway, the state of Ohio is the only entity that has my license plate number. My insurance agent/company never asks for that. When I had a loan, the financial company never asked for it. Unless I'm missing something, it can only from the state of Ohio. If you go to their website, at least last time I looked, they claim that they do not sell this information though.
Why the need for such biased reporting ? Foxconn pledged to build this facility, the state of WI offered incentives, and Trump hyped it or pointed it out about jobs being created. Who cares who was president at the time - Obama would have done the same, Bush would have too, and so on. Unless the state or local gov't is causing delays, this is all on Foxconn.
In every non-trivial program there is at least one bug.
